[amsat-bb] Increasing Icom 910H deviation on 9600 setting?

2011-12-23 Thread James Cutler

  Christmas Greetings   My decay prediction for ARISSAT-1 is that she will be sub 200km altitude by Jan 4th. I am using a very different method from Nico, but have the same proviso, the prediction is valid only if the solar numbers stay at similar levels to the present.   Wishing everyone on the

Starting Monday Morning, I will be trying to recover PCSAT. We need everyone to not use it until we give up. Just one single packet from a user during a pass will easily kill that pass's chance of recovery.. We only get one single packet chance per pass for recovery. So everyone. Turn off those
